The most addicting part of sport games is how the pace and length of the matches and to a greater extent, the tournaments allow for storylines to develop and the gamers to display their personalities in a way that fans can appreciate and get to know. For sure it is the action and the rallies that we all tune in to see. But in between points we get to know the players as they react to missed shots, questionable calls, or coming back from 3 point chances down. Over the course of the match these moment add up, and as fans we can begin to relate to the players. I will gladly watch a sport games match between two unknowns, who display little personality, because the sport by itself is fun to watch. But give me two of my favorite players locked in an struggle filled with emotion and grit over the course of 5 rounds and I will never once take my eyes of the screen for the a hours it lasts. These sorts of matches, like your epic challenge final with enemy, is the reason I watch sport games. Moments like the return of champion, followed by her dramatic winer, are another reason. Even in a match like hero vs giant a few days ago, over the course of that contest we saw the character change from seemingly bland (as the commentators noted) to someone that the fans could really get behind and root for. He just needed some time to show the fans who he is. sport games gives the players the opportunities to display their personalities and create those amazing moments. And that is why I find it so addicting.
